What do unusual return codes such as -3 and 0196 mean?..

Answer / ram

hi shakila vinayagam,
i'm getting the problem for rexx batch execution while
having the ADDRESS statement and w/o address statement its
executing fine but not going to macro program.
my error looks like
14 *-* ADDRESS ISPEXEC "EDIT DATASET("CURRNAM2")",
+++ RC(-3) +++
the same is fine when i execute thru online like
tso pgm-name or pgm-name.

which invokes macro through BATCH mode my sample jcl
//REXX1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=WLAWPDS.TEST.RAREXX,DISP=SHR
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*

If there are a set of statements and each has a word "value" in it, If I want to display all these statements so that the word "value" is aligned, then how do I code this in REXX. e.g - The value of X is Y. Wot is its value? Do u know its value? I want to know its value.
